OUT OF PLACE Eco-Friendly DVD is now FOR SALE!!
It looks so fresh and is so fresh for not using any plastic for the case!! No plastic wrap, no plastic tray. Just 100% recycled paper and soy-ink. Insert in your DVD player and watch repeatedly. 
Trevor Marzella is a graphic designer and all around awesome dude. He is the force behind our current artwork - the new DVD design and the poster. Originally from Rhode Island he has been in Cleveland since he came to attend CIA.
I just found a cool photo page called Things I take to the subconscious, found on his website. It is a collection of visual inspiration. Feast your eyes!
IN JAMIE YANAK’S PERSPECTIVE
There is a scene in Out Of Place that takes place in Jamie Yanak’s dark room. Jamie, Camel cigarette dangling from his mouth, is shown printing a photograph of Vince Labbe surfing. It is one of my favorite moments in the film. Jamie’s eloquent voice over captures so many feelings I have about the whole lake surfing experience. Jamie says, and I am paraphrasing here, that the surfers are interesting in their own right, beyond the fact that they surf in a lake. He says they are a band of misfits and outsiders, like himself. That maybe that is why he is drawn to them.
Jamie was introduced to the Cleveland surf scene while on a photo assignment. I think it might have been for the Associated Press. After the assignment ended he continued shooting the surfers on his own time. The next thing he knew he had an amazing collection of Lake Erie surf photographs, and Furthermore, he ended up learning to surf and became a beloved member of the close-knit crew. As he says in the film: now they are his best friends.
Jamie has been shooting a lot of pictures lately and posting many of them on his blogs and Flickr account. I have been enjoying his personal blog, Silver Halide Dreams. It features great writing and photographs to match. A few months ago Jamie began publishing an awesome Cleveland surf blog, The Sewer Pipe, named after the famous Edgewater Beach break that sits precariously close to a sewage run-off pipe. The banner image on the site features one of my all time favorite lake surfing photographs and is worth a visit alone. The blog is often hilarious and perfectly captures Jamie’s north eastern Ohio perspective (Yanak is a Parma boy born and raised!).
Enjoy these sites!

And say hi to Jamie for me if you see him on the beach with his Nikon.
